I don't know any SMP Tools. What do you want?
Bind a task onto a single CPU like under WindowsNT ?
I used to do this under NT, but never had to do this 
under Linux, I think the scheduling (round robin?) is
better and renice works also better.
Perhaps you find something interesting in the smp-howto.
